Weekly Update
March 19, 2023
Dear Sisters and Brothers,
As we stated in our weekly update last week, during the overnight hours of Friday, March 17, 2023, and Saturday, March 18, 2023. The Kronos timeclocks will be disabled for an update. If you cannot clock in or out, submit an exception in Workbrain to your manager or timekeeper. After the completion of this update, you will no longer be required to use the biometric finger scan. Instead, you will use a two-step verification process. Press on or off, swipe your AA ID, or type your employee number on the clock keypad. Please take caution; these time clocks will be monitored for abnormalities.
A quick reminder, training lessons are due March 31, 2023. Due to the Company's cross-utilization dynamic manning, we no longer have downtime in our workgroup and are on constant standby. Please request time to do lessons with your immediate control, bagroom, ABR, T5, cargo, FM, and GSE managers. Document all refusals for time. You can contact the hall or field office if you have any issues. Management also informed us that they would only approve VTOs for members who might want to leave early from their shift if their lessons have been completed.
Rovr Alert, the assignment of trips/flights is in the company's authority, but the workforce's leading and directing is in the scope of our Crew Chiefs. Therefore, if you receive a message on your Rovr directing you to a specific task or job, please report it to a steward or the field office. They should not be leading and directing our workgroup; it clearly violates our JCBA.
Mandatory Assignment of Overtime, Article 18, Y, mandatory overtime will only be used when the Company determines it is essential to meet the minimum needs of service. All voluntary options will be exhausted before utilizing mandatory overtime. For example, the Company must do a call-out for volunteers, not a solicitation for overtime to only specific work areas. Mandatory overtime will continue to fall under qualified employees in the workgroup and classification within the duty assignment. The pecking order will follow Articles 18, F, and G. The only time your classification status may change is when you make yourself available for voluntary overtime on a particular list.
Acceptance of overtime that will result in less than seven and one-half (7.5) hours of rest before the start of the employee's next regularly scheduled shift will be eligible for short-turn pay in accordance with Article 14, N. However, it does not apply when the reduced rest period results from an open time, schedule rebids, or shift trades.
We are in our second phase of procurement of Local 512 Union jackets, fitting jackets in all sizes have been ordered, and once received, we will start the ordering process at the field office and then move to cargo, hanger, and GSE.
I apologize for the late weekly update; I was on vacation with my family this past week.
Sincerely and fraternally,
Juan Elvira
